Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Gut the Inside Story of Our Body's Most Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Gut The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Underrated Organ by Giulia Enders Book Notes – Gut: the inside story of our body’s most under-rated organ by Giulia Enders. The book | Read in September 2016 | Rating 4.0. As Giulia Enders writes in Gut: the inside story of our body’s most under-rated organ , there is only one other organ in the body that can compete with the gut for diversity — the brain. The gut’s network of nerves is just as large and chemically complex. The human gut might even have a say in our morality, happiness, and lust for life. Yet science is only just starting to understand and prove this. This is a funny and fascinating book, as well as a welcome education in something that so many of us – scientists included – know so little about. Book notes. We humans have known since time immemorial something that science is only now discovering: our gut feeling is responsible in no small measure for how we feel. “Our ‘self’ is created in our head and our gut — no longer just in language, but increasingly also in the lab”. The gut might even have a certain influence on our moral thinking. In one study, mice with ‘pimped’ gut flora not only kept swimming for longer and with more motivation, but their blood was also found to contain fewer stress hormones. These mice also performed better in memory and learning tests. The earlier in life that mealtime calm is introduced, the better. When under stress we not only extract less energy from our food, but we also take longer to digest it. When the brain senses a major problem (such as time pressure or anger), it needs energy to solve it and borrows this mainly from the gut. The gut listens and saves energy on digestion, producing less mucous and reducing the blood supply. If we get repeatedly stressed or angered and keep diverting energy from the gut, we can cause real digestion problems. Stay calm. One theory proposed by research bacteriologists is that stress is unhygienic, or that the altered circumstances that stress creates in the gut allow bacteria to survive there than in periods of low stress. 95 per cent of the serotonin we produce is manufactured in the cells of our gut, where it has an enormous effect on enabling the nerves to stimulate muscle movement, and acts as an important signalling molecule. Treating out gut might even treat depression. The American researcher Dr Michael Gershon is interested in the possibility of developing effective antidepressants that only influence the gut, and do not have an effect on the brain. “Perhaps their gut needs a session on the therapist’s couch, and their head is not to blame at all.” If we decided to say ‘Hi’ to each of our gut bacteria individually, we might just manage it in around 3 million years. Our immune system not only says ‘Hi’; it also says, ‘You’re okay’, or ‘I’d prefer to see you dead.’ Next actions. Keep your stress down. If you focus on just one thing, at least try to stay calm while eating. You know this, but only use antibiotics when you need to. Don’t go crazy with the cleaning products but keep things tidy. Wash your veg before you eat them. Avoid sugary carbs and load up on probiotic and prebiotic foods. It would take an entire international news agency to report on all the events constantly unfolding in just one person’s microbiome. While we lounge about feeling bored, any number of exciting things are happening inside us. Gut : The Inside Story of Our Body's Most Under-Rated Organ. Enders, a medical student, became fascinated with all things digestive after a roommate asked her about the mechanics of elimination. She discovered that the gut affects overall health far more than . Читать весь отзыв. Другие издания - Просмотреть все. Об авторе (2015) Giulia Enders was born in 1990 in Mannheim, Germany.

This book was bought for me, as a gift. Under my own impulse, I would have left it on the bookshop shelf after looking with mild amusement at the rather good doodle style illustrations that do an excellent job of explaining the science. Giulia Enders’ sister Jill Enders is the one to thank for these. However, the book ended up on my bookshelf. Six months later, in search of something a bit different and reasonably light to read, I picked it up. I consider myself more interested in the brain, how I think and feel and how I can change all this to make me a happier, more content, likable human being. I prefer to think of things in terms of psychology than biology. Probably due to an unnecessary grudge against my school biology teachers. Giulia Enders however introduces the gut in a manner that would have been acceptable to both me and my biology teacher when I was fifteen. Apparently, my stomach is really much higher in my body than I imagined. And my small intestine really does agree that a siesta – or at least a bit of relaxation – is a good idea after lunch. Enders also points out what I feel I should have recognised as the obvious: we feel not solely with the brain in some mystical fashion, but because it keeps us alive. “Anyone who suffers from anxiety or depression should remember that an unhappy gut can be the cause of an unhappy mind. Sometimes, the gut has a perfect right to be unhappy, if it is dealing with an undetected food intolerance, for example. We should not always blame depression on the brain or on our life circumstances – there is much more to us than that.” There was also a chapter on the cause of various intolerances and some fascinating (and sometimes icky) detail on all the living creatures – bacteria, yeasts, fungi, worms – that you may or not want living in your body. It’s a super easy to read book. The bit on bacteria goes on a while, and you might lose focus at this point, but the pictures and the sometimes unexpected but clear explanations of how we work make it worth reading and easy to digest. ( ) My gut unfortunately fell out with me around 3 years ago, and whatever I did to upset it, clearly it's not forgiving me any time soon. I therefore hoped upon hope that this book would have a "Yes! That's it!" moment for me, but sadly (and not overly unexpectedly) there were no such revelations. Still, it's an interesting, popular science read, and I did learn a number of new things along the way about this most complex of organs and how it works when it's working well. Particularly interesting was the new research which points to the relationship between the health of our gut bacteria and mood / depression. I'd hoped that within these pages would be some new insights of the 'got this symptom? Perhaps check out x, y, z', but this is more of a popular gallop through the gut with a light touch on some general dysfunctions. An interesting read, written in a light and entertaining way, but nothing ground-breaking sadly. 3.5 stars - informative but not life-changing. ( ) Lovely little book. Almost like a user's guide to the digestive system. It's very much popular science, with a broad range of fairly shallow information presented in an appealing and entertaining format. (That's not a criticism.) I found a couple of Enders' analogies a little strange (distant trees are spoons?) but overall I thought her writing was enjoyable. The illustrations were a little off for me, but good enough. There wasn't much in there to blow my mind, but I imagine approaching this with a different background would show it's pretty informative. I definitely appreciated that she outlines a kind of range of normal, and gives sensible advice without the hyperbole I associate with American health writing. I love the idea of destigmatising basic bodily functions, so I liked that aspect too. Overall, I did enjoy it, but likely won't revisit. I'll be giving it to others who could benefit from the clear information contained within, as I think it is useful and actionable whilst being an easy read.

  • The Naked Surgeon the Power and Peril of Transparency in Medicine
    JULY 2015 POPULAR SCIENCE / HEALTH Giulia Enders Gut translated by the inside story of our body’s most under-rated organ David Shaw The key to living a happier, healthier life is inside us. Our gut is almost as important to us as our brain or our heart, yet we know very little about how it works. In Gut, Giulia Enders shows that rather than the utilitarian and — let’s be honest — somewhat embarrassing body part we imagine it to be, it is one of the most complex, important, and even miraculous parts of our anatomy. And scientists are only just discovering quite how much it has to offer; new research shows that gut bacteria can play a role in everything from obesity and allergies to Alzheimer’s. Beginning with the personal experience of illness that inspired her research, and going on to explain everything from the basics of nutrient absorption to the GIULIA ENDERS is a two-time latest science linking bowel bacteria with depression, scholarship winner of the Enders has written an entertaining, informative health Wilhelm Und Else Heraeus handbook.

Damit der Bürger sich ein Bild machen und mitentscheiden kann, benötigt er Informationen, und zwar sachlich richtige und verständlich aufbereitete Informationen. Das ist klassisch die Aufgabe von Journalisten und Redakteuren, zunehmend greifen aber auch Forscher selbst – meist unterstützt von Öffentlichkeitsarbeitern – sowie Blogger und Science-Slammer in die Meinungsbildung ein. Das Internet hat ohne Frage die Informationsmöglichkeiten für die Öffentlichkeit enorm erweitert.

    Colorectal screening in Germany Dr. med. Barna Bogner PhD Pathologie Bonn-Dusidorf Facts about colorectal cancer in Germany • The 2nd cause of cancer related mortality • In international comparisons, Germany is among the countries with high incidence of bowel cancer: The estimated total numbers of new cases and deaths in 2010 were about 62 000 and 26 000, respectively. • With screening the mortality could be decreased with 23%. • Polypectomy results a 90% decrease in CRC incidence • Time gap between polyp development and CRC -10 years • Early detection = early stage = complete recovery Age-standardized bowel cancer incidence and mortality in Germany between2003 and 2012(standard: European population)))) ● Between 2003 and 2012, about 20–30% of the eligible persons participated in the screening colonoscopy program. ● Between 2003 and 2012, the age-standardized bowel cancer incidence in Germany declined by 13.8% in men and 14.3% in women. The age- standardized bowel cancer mortality decreased by 20.8% in men und 26.5% in women. ● The sharp decline in incidence was selectively observed in the age groups 55 years and over. Prior to this, incidence rates had increased over several decades; only during the study period, this trend reversed. ● The patterns observed indicate that screening colonoscopy has contributed largely to the reduction of bowel cancer incidence and mortality in Germany. ● Based on the longer screening colonoscopy experience in the United States and recent projections, it can be expected that the downward trend in incidence and mortality of bowel cancer in Germany will continue and accelerate over the next years. „Motivationspreis 1000 Leben retten“ wird 2014 zum ersten Mal auf den Weg gebracht.
